well i got suckered in to being the cameraman for this crazy kid out here at school, we went right out on I-81 with all the truckers at night for this footage that might make you uncomfortable.

turn up the brightness on your monitor because the night vision didn't work perfectly but you can adjust it out pretty well.

Hopefully your friend lives through this stunt riding stage, they get seriously hurt and often killed around here. They even forced an SUV of the road in the metro area and killed one inside, injured several others. I can't stand it when they swarm past my family on the interstate, menace to society.

I arrest many, as many as possible.

Post up when your buddy is doing one-handed stoppies ;)
 
Im Back!!!

i gotta say it takes some skill to do that sort of thing. but, i still say if you want to haul ballz like that why not just hit the local track. still a nice vid and whoever did the editing did a great job.
 
I ride in local club, and we have people in the club that are "Stunta'z" as they prefer to be called, but it is not done on a public roadway, generally they get small airports to donate a unuse runway, and practice there.
 

RE: Im Back!!!

Nice video, how fast was your friend going when he did the fly-by at the end? I'm looking into getting a CBR600RR, but still have to save up some money. ALso insurance jumped up in the last year for some reason. If you want more crazy videos go to www.UpOnOne.com and search the video gallery.
 
RE: insane motorcycle video - homemade here in shippensburg,

our best guess is about 150, but he said he didn't look down when he flew by. after class today we're headin out to get some daytime footage... stay tuned for more!

RE: TONS of Jeep and 4x4 stuff, CJ7, postal Jeep, Cherokee

I ride with a couple local clubs out here and we don't let fellow riders do that on the road. The heck with the driver hurting himself, that is his problem. The innocent ones they take along with them is what hurts.

Use an airport, dragstrip, etc, this was the wrong place for it.
 

RE: TONS of Jeep and 4x4 stuff, CJ7, postal Jeep, Cherokee

I just wanted to say thank you so very much for contributing to raising my motorcycle insurance rates and fostering such a positive image for motorcyclists everywhere.

I'm guessing that your friend did not take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation safety course. I hope that your friend gets arrested for his stupidity before he kills himself or worse yet, someone else.

Next time I suggest he take his motorcycle onto a private, closed course if he wants to show off.

I've said all I plan to say on this one..... enjoy the video.
 
boy this sure aint the respons you were looking for huhh dingus. oh well, i realy did enjoy that vid. im looking forward to seeing the daytime one. i gotta tell ya though the part ware the rider came within feet of the rear of that martin truck was pure stupidity. has he ever heard of the "no zone". comeing from a trucking famaly and an aspireing profetional driver myself, seeing that sort of thing makes me wanna beat someone senceless.

that new video is up, its the one "wheelies and stuff" in there... you know the routine...

as for the safety of all this, i would never try this nonsense myself, i have always been a strong supporter of riding on a track with all proper protective gear (ie. leathers, boots, helmet, gloves)... i know way too many people who have been hurt riding one of these toys.

this kid is just a *little* bit over the edge.
 
The other day i had a pursuit of a crotch rocket for a simple speeding ticjket. I caught him doing 20 mph over in a school zone, when i lit him up, he looked back and then took off, front wheel in the air for a split second. He ended up going 95 mph through a residential neighborhood, then when the side street dumped onto the main highway at rush hour, he narrowly missed hitting corss traffic, and barreled thru a red light almost causing a 3 car pile up. he again took off i lost sight oif him at 120 mph then i called off my pursuit. I caught a bunch if his club members later and forced the information on the kid who rsan. Now he has an outstanding warrant instead of a simple traffic ticket. His whole club has picked up his stigma of fleeing from police and has caused local insurance companies to raise the rates drastically. That is also why we have had 7 fatal motorcycle crashes over the summer.
 
RE: I finally found the Video

They tend to bend the license plates up horizontal so you can't read them in a pursuit, if they even have license plates. All the more reason to stop them.
 
RE: YJ ticking

Hey nice video man. Tell your friend that if he brings the wheelie up just a little more he can keep the speed down and hold longer wheelies. He just needs to find the right balance point to just hold it and lean enough to steer while doing a wheelie. I love the bike though. Keep up the good video work and be safe doing that around traffic.
 
Okay so I know nothing about crotch rockets. Is it legal to w heelie down a highway, etc. like that?

Also, It's a real pretty bike but I can't see it staying that way. The first wrong move will land it down and it won't be so pretty anymore or am I wrong?

Interesting share !

Gauges acting wierd when I hit the brakes or go over a bump

Yea wheelies are illegal unfortunately. Wreckless driving or something like that. Oh well. I want a bike so bad.
